- Written by Vic Bradley so as to make it usable ! ***
- (Since most people don't have "MENU.COM", and Microsoft takes 3 months to
- deliver it AFTER you pay your $30 for it).

- BUT WE CAN HELP SUPPLY IT RIGHT ?
-
- note: The license agreement that comes with the Microsoft Mouse Programmers
- Reference Guide says: "Microsoft grants you the royalty-free right to repro-
- duce and distribute the Mouse Library provided that you:
- 1. Distribute it with your own software, and include Microsoft's copyright
- notice for it.
- Well Menu.com is a Microsoft program, but I don't see any
- copyright notice on it so I'm not sure it applies, but let's herby give them
- the credit for it ok? Vic Bradley

- The Qmodem mouse menu is written for Microsoft and compatible mice.
- The version currently supported in version 3.0 SST
-
- A brief explaination here: Qmodem.def is the source code for Qmodem.mnu
- Qmodem.mnu is generated by a microsoft program called MAKEMENU.COM (which
- is included in Microsoft Mouse Programmers Reference Guide)
- MAKEMENU.COM is a compiler for mouse menus in a special language Microsoft
- has developed exclusively for mice (mouses?) JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD
- HEARD OF ALL THE NEW LANGUAGES, RIGHT? Anyways, once compiled you still need
- MENU.COM to invoke the usage of the final product. Now Mark Lewis, and
- R. Saeks did all the work designing this menu, but they neglected to include
- MENU.COM ...
- So I will supply it. I also added ALL THE NEAT colors (it was black & white)
- ug! and updated the source code to one that the new version 1.2 of makemenu
- uses.
-
- Load the Qmodem mouse menu with MENU.COM, with qmouse as commandline parameter
- i.e. MENU QMODEM and then bring Qmodem up. (Here, Gary Conway
- falls short by not realizing Most buyers of Microsoft Mouse DON'T HAVE
- MENU.COM Make sure MENU.COM is on the same disk, directory, or path as
- QMODEM.MNU
-
- When at the DIALING DIRECTORY menu, the up and down mouse movement
- will scroll through the phone numbers.
-
- QMouse is a Microsoft Mouse Menu for QModem SST. The right mouse
- button brings up a series of context senstive menus including a
- "menu" which can be used to dial a number in a QModem phone directory
- by pointing and clicking the mouse. Enter the QModem dialing directory
- (from the main mouse menu or by typing ALT-D, CR) and the automatic
- dialing mode (from the Dial Option menu or by typing "D") and click
- the right mouse botton. Just click the right mouse buttom five
- times - its simpler than it sounds. All of the other menus are
- self-explanatory. In addition the clicking theleft mouse button
- always type a CR and clicking both mouse buttons type ESC.
-
- Thats about it. The source code is provided in the QMODEM.DEF
- file so that you may customize the mouse menu to your liking.
-
- Enjoy mouseketeers !
-
- Don't forget to type "MENU OFF <RET> when done to remove it from memory.
